I'm 59 with 3 older brothers but deep in the British Invasion! I know guys like Peter Frampton you'd assume to be American aren't. I saw P. Macartney, Moody Blues, E. Clapton, D. Zappa, John Fogerty, Iron Butterfly, but, the guitarist that Roy Orbison of guitar Joe Satriani I went to go see many times. I listened to do much King Crimson and Yes. I was never, ever an Elvis or Abba fan I grew up going to school along with a famous black musician Phillip Hamilton who plays with Pat Metheny! I bought a collectors edition Ten Y. After 1975! Eddie Van Halen man!

Hello CosmicWonderkund Of course not. I would describe myself as a more recent fan of Led Zeppelin I grew up in the 60's, went through my teens in the 70's. I started playing drums at a young age and gravitated to more jazz/ swing/ progressive fusion etc. While all my friends were listening to Led Zeppelin and the like, I was listening to Chick Korea. I did really like Rush and Frank Zappa at the time, but didn't listen to other rock music. I have, in my older age developed a strong appreciation for Led Zeppelin' Once I started listening and paying attention to their composition and skill, I was hooked. Their music is not contrived, it is deliberate and it has a purpose and their influence is undeniable.
